Ends with a fireworks 3-3 the match between Milan and Genoa, valid for the 35th day of the championship. At San Siro the Grifone goes ahead twice with Retegui and Ekubanbut it comes caught on both occasions first by Florenzi and then by Gabbia. A Giroud will take care of overturning everythingma in the end an own goal from Thiaw certifies the draw. Lots of groans and whistles from the Rossoneri fans, who for the sixth consecutive match between the championship and Europa League do not see their team win, abandoning the stands well in advance.

 

A point of great character was achieved by Gilardino’s men, who now have 43 points in the standings. Just three minutes pass after the kick-off and the first big episode arrives in favor of the visiting team: Vogliacco goes down into the area in contact with Tomori, the referee blows the penalty and Retegui coolly converts it into the 1-0. The Rossoneri were not willing and immediately tried to organize a reaction, hitting the post in the 13th minute with a right-footed attempt by Pulisic. The same American tries again in the 39th minute from the edge, but this time Martinez does well to fly and lift for a corner, then also saving on Theo Hernandez’s subsequent header.

 

Right at the end of the first half, Milan still managed to find the equalizer, thanks to a header in front of goal by Florenzi following a cross by Chukwueze. However, the start of the second half still smiled on Genoa, who took the lead again in the 48th minute with a header from Ekuban, who was left too free to hit Vogliacco’s cross from the right. San Siro starts to grumble again, Pioli’s men seem to feel the pinch, but as the minutes pass they begin to gain ground, creating several interesting situations. He comes Chukwueze had a goal disallowed for offsideGiroud incredibly missed another, then in the 72nd minute Gabbia equalized again with a header from Florenzi’s corner. A few moments pass and Giroud makes up for the previous mistake by making it 3-2 with a left-footed volley from Pulisic’s cross.

 

After a lot of effort it seemed done for Milan, but in the end Genoa reacted and found yet another equalizer in the match with an own goal from Thiaw, who was unlucky with a rebound in front of goal after a low cross from the right by Thorsby.
